[Jfs-discussion] Something went wrong with JFS...

[Daniel S. <ds...@ci...>]

and I lost some of my files. For the last two to three days, I ran into
some problems with my laptop. Since I rebuilt the kernel in order to
make a driver a module instead having it compiled into the kernel (it's
a network driver e100 and eepro10). So, I believed the problem was lying
with the driver, since it happens most of the time while switching my
laptop in suspend mode. I had to power off the laptop after resume from
the suspend mode because it hang completely and do not respond to
Ctl-Alt-Backspace when trying to kill X (the screen was blank, so, I was
thinking X freezed due to the network driver problem). And even,
Ctl-Alt-Del didn't work or Ctl-Alt-Fx.

So, power-off/power-on did the trick, however, I lost some configuration
files for my mail and my browser, as well as my mail inbox. At that
time, I was still thinking the problem was with the network driver. But,
just few minutes ago I encountered again the problem and this time I
looked at the syslog and got the following:

Anybody can help with this?

My kernel is 2.4.21. I am using LVM 1.0.7 as well. And JFSutils 1.1.2.
